Insider Tips

LOCAL CULTURE

Warm sunny days and cooler evenings

South East Queensland weather is a comfortable, sub-tropical climate. Temperatures average mid to high 20 degrees celsius all year round. When it rains on the Gold Coast, being sub-tropical any storm activity or grey skies tend to clear up quickly, and the sunny Gold Coast skies reappear.

InterContinental Sanctuary Cove Resort reflects the grand and graceful architecture of a Queensland estate, unlike any other venue. Located a short distance away from the tourist mecca of the Gold Coast, the resort allows easy access to the Gold Coast theme parks which are only a 10 minute drive away. The luxury resort is tucked within the beautiful surrounds of Sanctuary Cove and boasts a marina, acclaimed golf courses, one acre lagoon beach pool and lush garden landscapes.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Bnom Friendly, courteous and efficient staff
No matter how good the hotel is (and Sanctuary Cove Resort is very good), its the people that makes the difference. We were made welcome throughout the stay by every staff we came in contact with to make it an enjoyable and memorable stay.

Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by pink dispatch GREAT LOCATION IF ONLY IT WAS CONSISTENT
Great location and property BUT it does not really work well.
Yes the Gold Coast is a summer experience, but it is tropical, I was there during a cyclone, very wet, none of the rooms connected - so it was out in the rain with an umbrella, slipery paths.
Lots of umbrellas offered, housekeeping would move the one outside my door - so to get an umbrella would have to get wet - great when you are heading to a business meeting, even harder when wearing glasses.
Food service was pretty average, breakfast very expensive for stuff all on offer. Slow service at the egg stations and check in desk at breakfast.
Lunch to get a sandwich took almost 1 hour.
Ate dinner twice, the first night staff very good, the second night the staff good but ruined by the snooty attitude of the matre'd looked down his noise as me, placed me next to the kitchen. Yes get over it, some of us need to travel alone and there eat alone - - room service gets very boring.
If the weather was better i would have got in the car and gone somewhere else. This is from someone who spendt 35 nights in Interconts during 2014.
Laundry service woeful, would have been cheaper to get my shirts drycleaned away from the resort - apparently the hotel only offers standard service but charges at express.
Out of character from other hotels of this brand
